Chapter 990 - 899: What a Scheming Bitch
Qin Miaomiao chuckled. If Lu Qing praised it, it meant the film was genuinely good. But even if it wasn’t, as Lu Qing said, "To hell with it," Lu Qing had the ability to make the film worthwhile. It was simple; he just needed to spend a fortune to buy the rights, and the film’s reputation would soar, receiving a successful label in the public eye.But what Qin Miaomiao wanted was far beyond that.
The new movie premiere meant continuous screenings.
In the first round of screenings between Mo’s Film and Qin’s Film, Qin’s Film was at a disadvantage.
However, Mo’s Film had overhyped it on Weibo, giving audiences a huge letdown. Many people who bought tickets to the cinema left halfway through. Some loyal fans forced themselves to stay till the end, leaving messages on their idol’s Weibo, saying, "It’s not your fault the movie isn’t good; it’s the script that has issues."
These subtle differences were unknown to Qin Miaomiao and Lu Qing. Qin Miaomiao originally planned to push during the second round of the new movie’s screening, so she was now enjoying a wonderful evening date with Lu Qing.
Qin Miaomiao couldn’t remember the last time Lu Qing displayed his gentle charms. This time, they walked out of the cinema arm in arm, fingers interlocked. Mimicking the clumsy young couples around them, they found the corny actions amusing, holding huge bags of popcorn as they strolled down the street.
Popcorn was just a prop to enhance the date’s atmosphere. Neither of them wanted to eat such junk food. Besides popcorn, there were sugar-coated haws. Too sweet and sour, Lu Qing didn’t like them, and after Qin Miaomiao had one, she didn’t want more. However, a photo of Qin Miaomiao and Lu Qing standing together on the roadside was simultaneously posted on their respective WeChat moments.
The two of them shared a dose of public affection, and instead of replies of envy, jealousy, or hatred, they received uniform messages, "Boss, something big happened."
Qin Miaomiao immediately opened the company’s WeChat group and saw that the public relations team responsible for the small director’s film was in an uproar. Qin Miaomiao skimmed through it quickly, and even though she had been prepared, she was stunned.
Lu Qing stopped walking with Qin Miaomiao and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Qin Miaomiao shook her head with a wry smile, "Even arguing requires skill."
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, knowing the date was certainly going to be ruined, and chose to sit with Qin Miaomiao in a 24-hour fast-food restaurant, both of them scrolling through Weibo with heads down.
On Weibo, the debate between Mo’s Film and Qin’s Film was reignited by netizens.
The previous accusations targeted at Qin’s Film by fake reviewers were screenshot by internet users, leading to some fiery-tempered individuals tracking down the IP addresses and scolding them harshly. Some tech-savvy people discovered that these IP addresses belonged to the same location, proving Mo’s Film’s employment of fake reviewers.
Of course, hiring fake reviewers wasn’t a particularly severe issue. After all, in today’s traffic-driven society, everyone hires fake reviewers; it’s essentially a marketing tactic.
However, the reviews of Mo’s Film by netizens were full of sharp criticism. Meaningless advertising inserted into the movie, actors with awkward acting, dialogues relying on shouting, the entire film being a sequence of backgrounds with no plot, and special effects worth only two cents...
Previously, the conflict between Mo’s Film and Qin’s Film was so intense that audiences naturally compared the two. Qin’s Film had a comfortable style, a rigorous and smooth storyline, and well-developed characters...
A netizen named "Xiao Qizi" directly took aim at the main actor of Mo’s Film: "If you can’t act, go home and farm. The city’s tricks are too deep, and you idiots can’t keep up."
The comment section was flooded with replies, most of which reflected a prior lack of civility in randomly lashing out, which Qin Miaomiao skimmed through without paying much attention.
However, someone commented under this: "Hasn’t anyone noticed that Qin’s Film is clearly riding on Mo’s Film’s popularity, Qin Miaomiao is such a scheming bitch."
